Kira From Dark Crystal Novels & Stories

He adjusted his grip beneath my shoulders. "So we'll take care of that." "I think it's time Alpha Oliver chased you out of this pack himself." My lips parted in terror. I wanted to scream, to fight with the last strength I possessed, I wanted to call out Oliver's name. But nothing came out. The last thing I saw was Mira standing frozen several feet away, crying silently as she watched. Then darkness enveloped me.

Saphira did trip going up the stairs but she managed to catch herself. "Our first single lady is Saphira Silverstar. She just came of age last month. Most of you know she’s also completely blind. But she’s still sweet as can be," Alpha Alexander said. Saphira gently waved since she was nervous and hated this before Alpha Alexander started to go down the list of the other girls that were there. Amy Brown, Susie Jackson, Lilly Emerson, Amanda Smith, and Flora Erickson were all from Saphira’s pack. Saphira could hear some other names being called up from the other packs. She soon heard the doors to the ballroom opening with a loud bang. It made everyone jump and fall silent.

"She should be grateful Alpha Cedric let her live." It was Damon, her son, and the next Beta. He was a year older than me, his golden-brown hair falling into his smug eyes. I could only bow my head and continue my assigned task. I knew better than to respond to them. A familiar, chilling laugh made my stomach turn as Delta Gareth stepped into the hall, his presence commanding attention. His daughter, Kiara, followed him, laughing as they walked towards me. Kiara didn’t just hate me, she enjoys making me suffer because she believes I ate her mate, my twin and my father's true Heir. Thus she made it her life's work to make me suffer

“Callum, cover her flank.” He nodded. I stepped forward. “You’ve been inside Kira’s dreams,” I said. “Feeding her images. Whispers. What do you want?” Finally, she turned. Her face was a mosaic of beauty and decay—half porcelain, half ruin. One eye was human. The other glowed a faint blue. Her smile held no warmth. “I want my daughter.” “You don’t get her.” She tilted her head. “Is that how you see it? A prize to protect? You don’t know what she is.”

She turned fully to me, her eyes searching mine. “Crystal… you are the Luna. I’ve served in this mansion long enough to know what is true and what is forced, and I see how he looks at you. Whatever doubts you hold, please don’t let them erase what’s already yours" she pleaded. I could see her genuine concern and care for me in those eyes. I wanted to believe her. Goddess, how badly I wanted to. Yet the reminder of what Lyra had said earlier about the elders gnawed at me. They will judge. They will decide.

“That’s… not very comforting.” “I’m not here to comfort you. I’m here to be honest.” Kira bumped their shoulders together. “You want comfort, talk to Iris. You want honesty? I’m your girl.” Despite everything, Selene almost smiled. “Okay. Hit me with more honesty.” “The transformation is real. The risk is real. You could go feral, could hurt people, could lose everything that makes you you.” Kira paused. “But you could also be the first woman in five hundred years to survive. To break the curse. To prove that it’s possible.”

-Kira- My heart is sitting in my throat. I don’t recognize the woman staring at me in the mirror; the grown-up woman who will no longer depend on her Pappa for protection. The adult who will become Luna to another Alpha in a few hours' time. My love for dancing will be a forgotten memory, my stuffed toy collection will be donated and my bedroom will be cleaned out. Kira Volkova, the Alpha Heir, will fall away, and Kira Helseth will take her place.

She slept most of the next day. Not the restless, fitful sleep she had endured since the pregnancy pains began, but a deep, heavy slumber that worried me more than any scream could have. The healer assured me it was necessary—that whatever power Krystal had drawn on during the attack had drained her far beyond what her body was used to holding. “She did not merely defend herself,” Elder Maeve told me quietly. “She awakened something.” I hadn’t left Krystal’s side. Not when the healers came and went. Not when my council demanded answers. Not even when reports of the rogue interrogation arrived at my door.

“ Relax! I'll never take the blindfolds off. Now let's just go! ” “ Let's hurry! This isn't the case with Jane's girls. Anyone that sees you kill them off. ” Intel orders, her eyes taking their kite shape, her ears elongating and unlike the others, her hair turned white. “ We're going all out! ” “ Hell yeah! ” Kira exclaims. Her eyes and hair turned to gold as she stretched her arm to the sky. On cue, her original sword flies to her palm. The object was almost as transparent as Jane's knife and it glowed gold under the sunlight.

He held high his hands to slap me but with my eyes turning white, I controlled his movements. I still had my controlling movements with my eyes but I couldn't use it that much or else I will fall into exhaustion. He mouthed, "stupid bitch." I smiled and turned my eyes to the other side so that he could have his arms in the direction of my eyes. Catalina gasped in shock, she didn't know that I was a person blessed with powers. "Are you from Rosla?" She asked in surprise. "My name is Hemilia, nice to meet you." I grinned darkly with my eyes sparkling.
